The top 2,000 players got a piece of either the $621,175 regular prize pool or $378,825 bounty pool. Among those to finish in the top 100 were “MrSweets23” (62nd for $621.17 + $422.07 in bounties), “mikeunger” (27th for $1,118.11 + $393.12 in bounties), “wannagamble1” (11th for $2,360.46 + $466.11 in bounties), and “popsnpoker” (3rd for $22,672.88 + $6,278.29 in bounties).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 12 hours and 48 minutes, the tournament came to an end when the UK’s “Sysinho33” defeated Ireland’s “sully4428” to win the title, $51,815 in prize money, and an additional $12,421 in bounties.[/COLOR] [B]Russia’s Andrey “ifearpanic” Pateychuk Takes Down the Mega Deep[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $215 buy-in, $100K GTD Sunday Mega Deep surpassed its guarantee by drawing 173 players who rebought 173 times.

It took nearly 12 hours to get the job done, but eventually the Russian claimed victory for $20,366.[/COLOR] [B]Two Players Prove They’re Up for the Sunday Challenge[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $109 buy-in Sunday Challenge drew 217 players who rebought 71 times, which meant the $30,000 prize pool was distributed amongst the top 36 players including “ZDamian” (35th - $225), “tikkapekka” (21st - $255), “funnybunny” (10th - $480), and “alexos888” (6th - $1,350).[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After 8 hours and 51 minutes, the title came down to Russia’s “Darya_Kurt” and Malta’s “L0bby0wner22.” The duo opted to work a deal in which the former got the title and $5,336 and the latter second for $5,300.[/COLOR] [B]Sunday Deepstack Monsoon Ends in Heads-Up Deal[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $55 buy-in $10,000 Sunday Deepstack Monsoon attracted 177 players who rebought 46 times.

Back in May 2017, the Swede topped a field of 1,000 runners to win the XL Inferno Event #182: $45,000 Sunday Breeze for $9,000.[/COLOR] [B]Lightning 6-Max Strikes Two[/B] [COLOR=#000000]The $55 buy-in $5,000 Lightning 6-Max saw 74 players rebuy 28 times in their quest to win a piece of a $5,100 prize pool. Just the final table of nine got paid including Bryan “DePittsterje” Paris (7th - $204), “I_gravas” (4th - $510), and “mistrJackpot” (3rd - $765), who you might recall from above finished second in the Sunday Deepstack Monsoon.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]After just under seven hours, the final two players cut a deal and then played it out.
